Chapter 273: Jiao Dragon Clan, Comparatively Larger……

The sky still drifted with lingering majesty.

Countless scattered lightning bolts drooped, the thunder dragon, representing the might of the heavens, had now vanished.

“Ao Lan successfully passed the heavenly tribulation!”

The myriad dark clouds had yet to disperse, and even now, the cloud layer seemed to faintly contain the awe-inspiring might of the heavens.

But precisely because of this, the scene before them was even more shocking.

Such a terrifying Transforming Sea Realm thunder tribulation was something none had ever witnessed.

Yet at this moment, Ao Lan had withstood this vast heavenly might with her body.

A Dragon King who could reach such a pure ancestral bloodline had not appeared for countless millennia.

As the vast spiritual energy, like an ocean, converged from all directions and surged into Ao Lan’s body.

The Dragon Clan present stood solemnly.

Because they were very clear.

This time, Ao Lan had broken the boundless years of the Dragon Clan’s curse, breaking through to an unprecedented height.

But at this moment in the sky, Ao Lan’s petite body could no longer support the massive loss of spiritual energy.

Her eyelashes fluttered and drooped, she closed her eyes sleepily, and slowly fell from the sky.

Nie Chen’s figure flashed, catching Ao Lan in his arms.

As if finding an extremely warm and safe support, Ao Lan’s body curled up slightly.

A warm smile on her lips, she fell into a deep sleep in Nie Chen’s arms like a sleeping baby.

“…”

For a long while, the Dragon Clan who saw this scene finally reacted.

They almost forgot that Ao Lan had already signed a pet beast contract with Nie Chen.

Being able to break through to the once-in-a-millennium bloodline purity realm, even those who hadn’t believed before.

After the thunder tribulation, the Four Seas and Eight Desolations, even the Dragon Clan that had been hostile to the Western Sea, were filled with awe and faith towards Ao Lan.

But at this moment, Ao Lan, whom they infinitely revered and who would one day become the strongest Dragon King in a thousand years, was lying softly in Nie Chen’s arms.

Sleeping peacefully like a little girl.

Looking at each other, all the Dragon Clan felt like fools.

“The Dragon King is so strong, but why does she seem a bit adorable…”

“Hateful, Ao Lan is our Dragon King, even if she needs to be held, it should be by our Dragon Clan!”

That tranquil sleeping face not only conquered all the Dragon Clan present but also made countless cultivators heartbroken.

Why did Nie Chen take all the advantages!

That small and soft body, just imagining the feeling of holding it in one’s arms must be excellent.

But now, only Nie Chen could enjoy it, it was simply too much!

“What’s wrong with these people…”

Suddenly feeling the gazes around him filled with sourness, jealousy, and gnashing of teeth, Nie Chen felt helpless.

How could he be envied for carrying his own pet beast?

If these people saw him carrying the Empress, wouldn’t they go crazy?

“However, to be honest, the feeling is really good.”

Like carrying a soft doll, looking at Ao Lan sleeping soundly in his arms, Nie Chen couldn’t help but smile.

But…

Ao Lan in his arms, at this moment, even faintly drifted with a phantom around her body.

And in this phantom, Ao Lan’s long hair indeed fully transformed into a light blue color, and her body also became the size of an adult girl.

Her posture was light and graceful, her figure fully could no longer be described as meager.

But soon, this phantom fully disappeared.

As if it had never appeared, only Nie Chen saw it.

“Could this be the second form that Ao Lan mentioned before?”

Nie Chen couldn’t help but feel curious.

At this moment, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and all directions were pitch black.

Near the Heavenly Cloud Palace, there were cultivators from various sects who came to witness this sacred scene, as well as Dragon Clan from the water.

Figures floated out from the crowd one after another.

There were Dragon Clan, sea tribes from the water, and also Jiao Dragons.

And at this moment, they all transformed into human forms, their bodies covered with scales symbolizing the depths of the sea.

Looking at Nie Chen and Ao Lan in his arms, they stood solemnly.

Then, they bowed in unison.

Under the myriad dark clouds, apart from the hurricane sweeping between heaven and earth, there was a deathly silence.

Tens of thousands of Dragon Clan and sea tribes riding clouds in the sky solemnly bowed their heads.

This scene was vast and awe-inspiring.

“Ao Lan.”

This Dragon King, who looked petite and adorable and had signed a contract with Nie Chen, was destined to become the strongest Dragon King in the Lanchuan Continent in a thousand years!

“So, to be able to take such a terrifyingly strong little Dragon King as a pet beast, what kind of monster is Nie Chen?!”

“It’s simply outrageous, I’m even beginning to suspect that Nie Chen slaying two Great Emperors was not a coincidence. Most importantly, I also heard that the Empress…”

“Shh.”

For a time, cultivators in all directions suddenly became more than restless.

And the most suddenly shocked were still those old dragons who were over a hundred years old and had high status.

“Golden Scale Carp.”

For the Dragon Clan, the Golden Scale Carp was the most precious thing in the world.

But for many years, the Dragon Clan in the boundless seas had tried their best but fully failed to find the Golden Scale Carp.

Some Dragon Palaces even suspected that the Golden Scale Carp had become extinct and fully disappeared.

But this time, they saw the Golden Scale Carp with their own eyes.

Ao Lan’s ancestral bloodline was indeed pure, but it had never reached the current level before.

In other words…

“To have more than one Golden Scale Carp, how many secrets does this human disciple hide!”

Only daring to hide this terrifying thought in their hearts, but looking at Nie Chen, those old dragons couldn’t help but show fear.

……

After a long time, the cultivators and Dragon Clan who had gathered from all directions slowly dispersed.

Carrying the soundly sleeping Ao Lan, Nie Chen also planned to return to his room.

But at this moment, several graceful figures chased after him.

These figures were all girls from the Jiao Dragon Clan, and the leader was Xiang Ying from Shuangyue Pavilion.

“Senior, please wait a moment.”

With several extremely beautiful Jiao Dragon Clan girls, Xiang Ying caught up.

Although they hadn’t known each other for long, Nie Chen had a good impression of Xiang Ying, so he asked:

“Are you here to…”

“I was entrusted by the Dragon Clan to take care of the injured Dragon King.”

Xiang Ying hurriedly replied.

“Why would the Dragon Clan send you to take care of her?”

Nie Chen asked.

The Jiao Dragon Clan, as a branch of the Dragon Clan, was not regarded highly by the Dragon Clan because of their impure bloodline.

It wasn’t that Nie Chen was discriminatory.

It was just that the Dragon Clan always attached great importance to bloodline and was very concerned about face.

Logically speaking, they should never send the Jiao Dragon Clan with thin bloodline to Heavenly Cloud Palace to take care of Ao Lan.

Although he and Xiang Ying and the other Jiao Dragon girls from Shuangyue Pavilion were considered acquaintances, this situation did not seem to be in line with the Dragon Clan’s style.

“This… I…”

Hearing this question, Xiang Ying pursed her lips, showing great embarrassment.

She, who was usually decisive and calm, was now hesitant, her face slightly red.

And the girls behind her also seemed to feel extremely ashamed, their eyes dodging, fully not daring to look at Nie Chen.

As if making a great decision, after a long time, Xiang Ying finally forced herself to tell the truth while enduring the shame.

“The reason why the Dragon Clan sent us to take care of the Dragon King is actually because we… are comparatively… larger.”

Nie Chen: “?”
